[Data management in an ICU: Experiences with ICM (Intensive Care Manager)]
1Abt. für Anästhesiologie und operative Intensivmedizin, Allgemeines Krankenhaus Altona.
Objective:
Experience with implementation and operation of a patient data management system on an intensive care unit.
Methods:
Patient data management system "Intensive Care Manager" (ICM, Dräger Medical). Anaesthesiologic ICU (surgical patients only) of an academic teaching hospital.
Results:
ICM was installed without problems and is used in routine patient treatment. The system is running reliably, availability was 99.87 % during the last 8 months.
Conclusion:
Documentation has become better and more detailed with comparable time spent. More secondary diagnoses have been recorded since ICM was implemented. Special "views" related to organ systems allow to monitor organ dysfunction more easily and facilitate treatment decisions. Review of textual information needs to be further optimised. Writing of medical reports is ideally supported by ICM. Using ICM is advantageous for doctors, nurses and patients.
